Mother of 3 refuses to do husband's laundry for good after he complains about her laundering methods as she recovers from surgery: ‘That's your problem’

Chore disbursement when you're living with young children and your spouse depends on what works best for your family dynamic. You need to consider how old your kids are, if they're capable of dealing with cleaning liquids, if your husband knows that he needs to separate colors and whites when doing laundry, etcetera… But it should be easy enough to divvy up the chores evenly. If one spouse takes on more than the other willingly, that's fine, too! If the other spouse starts ridiculing your cleaning strategies, though, having a calm talk about it at an appropriate time works best for diffusing any contempt that might be simmering under the surface.

What happens when your spouse chooses one of the most inconvenient times to criticize how you do the laundry? Say, the day you come back from surgery to begin your lengthy recovery. What would you do?

The mother of three in this story vows never to do her husband's laundry again after he points out a mistake she made with his football shirts when she did the laundry last. He didn't ask about how she was feeling if she needed anything, or provide her any sort of solace or support after what was definitely a grueling day for her. Keep reading to decide if her response was warranted.
